Hence no transactions will be processed in the meanwhile. Rest assured, as always security of the chain is our top-most priority. The team is working on finding the errors and should have a wholistic idea of what went wrong soon. We are gathering all the information available and will circle back as soon as we have more concrete information on a restart time.
